Want to be more confident at work? You're not alone.

So many of us grapple with self-doubt.

Perhaps you’re an exhausted achiever? You’re delivering results and progressing in your career, but you feel utterly worn out. You’re compensating for a lack of confidence with excessive effort and punishingly high standards.

Or perhaps you’re feeling frustrated and unfulfilled? Self-doubt is making you hold yourself back, you're avoiding challenges that could demonstrate how good you really are.

This book can help. Distilling over a decade of real-life research into clear insights, practical tools and impactful activities, Julie Smith shows you how to Coach Yourself Confident.

Julie Smith, founder of leadership consultancy Talent Sprout, is a sought-after coach who has been supporting leaders to grow their confidence for three decades. Through this real-world research she has developed, tested and honed frameworks and tools that unleash conscious confidence.
